English

After the expiration of the mid-night that Brāhmana, stricken with fear, approached us and said "My wife is on the point of giving birth to a child. Do you station yourselves so that I may not be cheated" (7-8). In a moment, O king, piteous cries were heard in the Brāhmana's house exclaiming "Stolen! Stolen!" (9). Afterwards we also heard the cries of the baby in the sky, but could not see the Rākshasa (10). Afterwards we agitated all the quarters with a downpour of arrows, but the boy was however stolen away (11). When that boy was stolen away that Brāhmana crying addressed to us such harsh words that the Vrishnis lost themselves and I too lost my senses. He particularly said to me:—"You said that you would protect me, but could not do so. Therefore listen to these beneficial words, O wicked minded wretch (12–14). You always vaunt with Keshava of incomparable intellect. Had Govinda been here this mischief would not have been created. O stupid man, as a saviour is entitled to the one-fourth share of the virtue, so he, who cannot protect one, is constrained to participate of the sin; you said that you would protect me but you have not been able to do so. In vain is your Gāndiva, prowess and fame" (15-17).

However I did not speak anything to the Brāhmana, but went with the princes of the Vrishni and Andhaka families where the highly effulgent Krishna was. Afterwards going to city of Dwāravati I saw Govinda the slayer of Madhu and he too, saw me, filled with shame and sorrow. Beholding me ashamed Mādhava consoled me and the Brāhmana with sweet words. Thereupon he said to Dāruka:—"Get ready my horses, Sugriva, Saivya, Meghapushpa, and Balāhaka." Afterwards making the Brāhmana ascend the car and sending down Dāruka, Shura's descendant Krishna asked me to act as the charioteer. O descendant of Kuru, afterwards, Krishna, the Brāhmana and myself set out on that car towards the north (18-20).

Arjuna said:—Thereupon crossing the mountains, rivers and forests we saw the ocean the abode of Makara. Thereat the ocean, in his true form, with folded hands and carrying _Argya_, appeared before Janārddana and said "What am I to do?" (1–2) Having accepted the adoration from the ocean Janārddana said:—"O Lord of rivers, I wish you to afford passage for my car" (3). Thereupon Samudra, with folded hands, said to Garudadhwaja:—"Be pleased O Lord! do not act thus, or else others will do so (4). O Janārddana, thou didst formerly place me in this unfathomable expanse. I shall have to follow the way thou wilt institute (5). If thou dost do so, other kings, elated with the pride of their strength, will cross me by this way. Therefore O Govinda, do whatever thou dost think proper (6)." Vāsudeva said: "For my sake and for this Brāhmana, follow my words. Save me no one else will be able to assail you" (7). Thereupon, in fear of a curse the ocean again said to Janārddana:—"Let it be so. O Krishna, O slayer of Keshi, I will dry up the path in which your car, adorned with flags, will proceed with its charioteer" (8–9). Vasudeva said:—"O ocean, I had conferred upon you the boon formerly that you would never be dried up, lest the people might form an idea of the collection of your gems. You are to stop the agitation of your water to that extent only that may admit me with my car. In that case no man will be able to estimate the collection of your jems" (10-11). Hearing it the ocean said "So be it"; and we proceeded through that lustrous red water as if we were on land (12). Within a moment we crossed the ocean, Uttarakuru and Gandhamādana. Thereupon Jayanta, Vaijayanta, Neela, Rajata, Mahāmeru, Kailasha and Indrakuta, these seven mountains, assuming various wonderful forms, appeared before Keshava and saluting Govinda said:—"What are we to do?" Welcoming them all duly Hrishikesha, the slayer of Madhu, said to the mountains who stood before him with bending heads "You are to give me passage." Hearing the words of Krishna and accepting them the mountains gave him the passage and disappeared. O foremost of Bharata's race, beholding this work I was filled with great surprise. However as the sun passes through clouds so our car careered on unobstructed. And that best of cars, crossing the seven insular continents, oceans and seven rivers as well as Lokaloka, entered another region (13–20).

While proceeding thus at a certain place I found the horses carrying the car with great difficulty. Touching it with my hands I perceived that the darkness was owing to thick mud. It gradually assumed the form of a mountain. Seeing it, Govinda dispelled that darkness and mud with his discus and the sky and the passage of the car became visible (21–23). When the sky became visible and we came beyond the pale of darkness my fear was removed and I thought that I was alive. A few moments after I saw in the sky a bundle of effulgence, of the shape of a man, extending over all the worlds (24–25). Then Rishikesha entered into that bundle of effulgence and that best of Brāhmanas and myself waited on the car. Within a moment the powerful Krishna returned with the four sons of the Brāhmana and gave those three boys who had been stolen before and the new born baby into the hands of the Brāhmana (26–28). O emperor, regaining his sons the Brāhmana was highly pleased and I too was filled with great joy and surprise (29). O foremost of the Bharatas, afterwards we, with the Brāhmana's sons, came out in the same way as we had gone there. O foremost of kings, arriving at Dwārakā within a moment we saw that even the first part of the day was not complete. At that I was again filled with surprise. There upon the highly illustrious Krishna fed that Brāhmana with his sons and satisfying him with riches sent him away to his own house (29-32).

Arjuna said:—O Bharata, afterwards, having fed many hundreds of Rishi-like Brāhmanas and taken his meals along with myself and other members of the Vrishni and Bhoja races, Krishna discoursed on various wonderful and divine topics (1–2). After the termination of Janārddana's discourse, I, filled with curiosity about what I had seen, approached him and said:—"O lotus-eyed Krishna, how the water of the ocean came to a stand-still? How was that dreadfully dense darkness dispelled with thy discus? How didst thou enter into that bundle of effulgence? O lord, why where the Brāhmana boys stolen by that effulgence. How was such a long distance shortened? How could we go and come back within such a short time O Keshava, do thou describe all these things duly to me (3–7)."

Vasudeva said:—In order to see me that great Purusha stole away the sons of the Brāhmana thinking that for him I would go there and not otherwise (8). O foremost of Bharatas, the great divine effulgence which you saw there is nothing but me full of Brahma effulgence. That is my eternal effulgent energy. That is my eternal great Prakriti, manifest and unmanifest. Entering into her (understanding her nature) the great Yogins attain to final liberation (9-10). Prakriti is the refuge of the Sankhya Yogins and the ascetics. And she is the great Brāhmana. She makes divisions in the universe (11). O Bhārata, know her as my creative energy. I am that ocean of stilled water. I stilled her water (12). I am those seven mountains and the pitch darkness begotten by mud which you saw. I am the cloud-like darkness and its dispeller. I am the author of elements and eternal religion. The moon, the sun, the huge mountains, the rivers, the lakes, the four quarters are my four-fold souls. From me have emanated the four Varnas and four Asramas. Know me as the author of four-fold learning (13-16).

While residing at Dwaravati, the intelligent Yadu king Keshava invaded the territories of many highly powerful kings (7). At that time, a Dānava, by name Vichakra, who used to seek loop-holes of the Yadavas, was killed. Going to the city of Prāgyotish situate at the bed of the ocean the great Keshava killed the wicked Asura Naraka. Vanquishing Vāsava he, by force, carried away his Pārijāta tree (8–9). In the lake Lohita the divine Varuna was vanquished by Keshava. In the Deccan the Karusha king Dantavakra was killed. After he had committed a hundred offences Shishupala was slain. O king, repairing to the city of Shonita Mādhava vanquished, in a great battle, the thousand-handed and highly powerful Vāna the son of Bali protected by Shankara and left him only alive (10-12). All the fires in the mountains were suppressed by that high-souled one and Shalwa and Soubha were defeated and killed by him in battle (13). Having assailed the ocean Janārddana took from him the conch-shell Paachajanya and Hayagriva and other highly powerful kings have been killed by him (14). On Jarasandha being slain by him all the kings have been released. Having vanquished all the kings on a single car he carried away the daughter of the Gāndhara king. The sons of Pandu, deprived of their kingdom and stricken with sorrow, were protected by him. Having consumed the dreadful forest of Khāndava belonging to Sachi's lord he conferred Gāndiva, given by fire, on Arjuna. O Janamejaya, when the dreadful conflict took place, this Yadu king Janārddana acted as the ambassador. On behalf of the Pāndavas he promised before Kunti, "After the termination of the Bhārata war I will return the kingdom to your sons." By him the highly effulgent Nriga was released of his curse and the well known Kāla Yavana was killed. By him the highly powerful and irrepressible monkeys Mainda and Dwivida were defeated in battle and Jāmvavān was vanquished. Although possessed by death Sandipani's son and your father was restored to life again. O Janamejaya, I had already described to you how the kings met with death in many battles destructive of men (15-23).

O Brahman, how could that Asura, who was protected by Shankara, obtain the sonship of that god of gods? How could he live in the company of his Guhas? The son of the powerful Bali was the eldest of a hundred brothers and had thousand hands adorned with hundreds of celestial weapons, was encircled by numberless huge-bodied Asuras and was a master of hundreds of illusion. How was Vāna, desirous of fighting a duel and inflamed with anger, defeated by Vasudeva in battle And why did Keshava leave him off

Once on a time seeing the high-souled Kumāra (Kārtikeya) while sporting the highly powerful Bali's son was filled with surprise. Then thinking, "How may I be Rudra's son?" he desired to carry on hard austerities for worshipping Rudra. Gradually the more that foremost of Asuras rendered himself glorious by practising hard austerities the more pleased was Siva, who is easily satisfied, with Umā. Having attained to an excess of satisfaction with the austerities of Vāna, the blue-throated deity himself went there and said to the Asura:—"May you fare well: pray for a boon which you cherish at heart" (12–15). Thereupon Vāna said to Maheswara, the god of gods:—"O three-eyed deity, my prayer is that thou mayst confer on me the son-ship of the goddess" (16). Saying "So be it" Shankara said to the goddess:—"Accept him as your son. He is the younger brother of Kārtikeya. Forsooth, his city will be laid out at that place from where formerly Mahāsena rose up from the blood produced by fire. That best of cities will be celebrated by the name of Shonita-pura. No body will be able to withstand the beautiful Vāna completely protected

Thereupon Vāna lived in the city of Shonita and governed his kingdom oppressing the gods. Gradually the thousand-armed one was so much worked up with the pride of his prowess that disregarding the gods he solicited a battle with them (20-21). At that time Kumāra give him a standard burning like fire and an effulgent peacock to carry him. Afterwards, by the power of Maheshwara, the god of gods, Vāna so fought that none amongst the gods, Gandharvas, Yakshas and Rākshasas could keep himself firm at that time (22–23). Protected completely by Tryamvaka and elated with pride the Asura, desirous of fighting, again approached Siva (24). Approaching Rudra and saluting him Bali's son said:—"The gods, Sādhyas and Marutas, whom I repeatedly vanquished with the help of my army and under your protection, have come here and are living happily. O god, vanquished by me, filled with terror and despairing of my defeat the gods are living happily in the celestial city under your protection. So despairing of success in battle I do not wish to live any longer; there is no use of holding all these arms if I cannot fight. Save fighting my mind does not fix upon any thing else. Be thou propitiated and tell me when I shall be able to fight (25–29)."

Thereupon the Divine Vrishadhwaja similingly said:—"O Dānava Vāna, hear how you will enter upon a battle.

Thus spoken to Vāna, smiling again and again, prostrated himself at Bhava's feet and said:—"By my good luck, my holding these thousand arms has not become fruitless. I will again, by my good fortune, defeat the thousand-eyed deity."

Maheshwara said:—"Rise up O hero you will soon obtain a fight befitting your family and thousand arms" (32–34).

और अपनी जगहपर लाकर रख दिया॥४३॥ धराको धारण करनेवाले भगवान् वाराहने पहले स्वयं पृथ्वीको धारण करके उसे सहसा जलके ऊपर छोड़ दिया। उनके धारण करनेसे पृथ्वीको बड़ी शान्ति मिली। उसने उन कल्याणकारी देवता यज्ञवाराहको नमस्कार किया। इस प्रकार सम्पूर्ण भूतोंका हित चाहनेवाले भगवान्ने यज्ञवाराह होकर लोकहितकी कामनासे पृथ्वीदेवीका उद्धार किया। तदनन्तर कमलनयन सुरश्रेष्ठदेव श्रीहरिने इस तरह रसातल गयी हुई पृथ्वीके विषयमें विचार करके जगत्को स्थापित करनेकी इच्छासे उसे ऊपरको उठाया और उसके विभाग करनेके लिये मनमें विचार किया॥ ४४--४७॥ राजन्! इस तरह उस समय श्रेष्ठ वराहरूप धारण करके सर्वव्यापी हरिहररूप अनृपम पराक्रमी महायशस्वी अच्युतने सबके हितके लिये पृथ्वीको बलपूर्वक एक दाँतसे ऊपरको उठाया था

Vaishampāyana said:—Thus addressed by the high-souled three-eyed deity Vrishadhwaja Vāna, with delight, saluted him and rose up speedily (35). Thereupon dismissed by the blue-throated deity Vāna, the victor of hostile cities, entered into the room of standards in his own palace. Seated there he smilingly said to Kumbhānda:—"I will give a pleasant tidings after your heart." Hearing it the minister Kumbhānda smilingly said to Vāna, incomparable in battle:—"O king, what pleasant news are you desirous of communicating to me? O foremost of Daityas, my eyes have been expanded with joy and surprise. I wish to learn what boon you have obtained (36–39). By the grace of the blue-throated deity as well as that of Skanda what boon have you obtained? Has Trident-handed deity given you the kingdom of the three worlds? Will Indra, in fear of you, enter into nether region? Will Diti's sons be freed from the fear of Vishnu afraid of whose discus they entered into the ocean? Will not Diti's sons have to fear Vishnu stationed in battle with Shrānga bow and club in his hands (40-42)? Will the great Asuras, under the protection of your power, leave the nether region and reside in the celestial city (43)? O king, your father Bali, defeated by Vishu's power, is living in chains.

Vaishampāyana said:—Thus addressed by the high-souled three-eyed deity Vrishadhwaja Vāna, with delight, saluted him and rose up speedily (35). Thereupon dismissed by the blue-throated deity Vāna, the victor of hostile cities, entered into the room of standards in his own palace. Seated there he smilingly said to Kumbhānda:—"I will give a pleasant tidings after your heart." Hearing it the minister Kumbhānda smilingly said to Vāna, incomparable in battle:—"O king, what pleasant news are you desirous of communicating to me? O foremost of Daityas, my eyes have been expanded with joy and surprise. I wish to learn what boon you have obtained (36–39). By the grace of the blue-throated deity as well as that of Skanda what boon have you obtained? Has Trident-handed deity given you the kingdom of the three worlds? Will Indra, in fear of you, enter into nether region? Will Diti's sons be freed from the fear of Vishnu afraid of whose discus they entered into the ocean? Will not Diti's sons have to fear Vishnu stationed in battle with Shrānga bow and club in his hands (40-42)? Will the great Asuras, under the protection of your power, leave the nether region and reside in the celestial city (43)? O king, your father Bali, defeated by Vishu's power, is living in chains. Will he rise up from the water and regain his kingdom (44). Shall we see again your father Bali, Virochona's son, adorned with celestial garlands and pasted with celestial unguents (45)? O Lord, shall we, vanquishing the gods, bring again to our subjection the worlds pilfered with three steps (46)? Shall we vanquish the god Nārāyana, the victor of armies, who is preceeded by the grave and cool sound of his conch-shell (47)? From the dancing of your heart and tears of joy it appears that Vrishadhwaja has been propitiated by you. Have you, by the Lord's pleasure and Kartikeya's consent, obtained for us all the dignity of the king of the earth?" (48–49) Encouraged by the words of Kumbhānda, Vāna, the foremost of Asuras and speakers, gave vent to the following powerful words:—"I have not been able to fight for a long time. Therefore stricken with sorrow I said to the divine blue throated deity:—'O lord, I am filled with a great desire for battle. Tell me when I shall enter on a battle conducive to the satisfaction of my mind'. Hearing it Hara, the god of gods, and the slayer of his enemies, smiled for some time and then said to me in sweet words:–'O Vāna, in no time you will face a great battle. O Diti's son, when your peacock standard will be broken you will find a great battle awaiting you.' After the divine Vrishadhwaja had said this I saluted him and came to you"
